Photographer's Note

The Cachoeira do Mosquito is located about 70km north of Lencois. The trailhead can be reached by a long, long dirt road. From there you need to walk for about 1h to reach the narrow canyon. The 60m high waterfall is at the end of the canyon, which needs some wading and rock hopping.
The intense red color of the water is typical for the rivers of the Chapada Diamantina. It is not the result of iron but because of a high concentration of tannin, which you can also find in wine. ;-)

Hi Karsten,
The colours are amazing! Fantastic use of the available light, very good framing! Exposed just lond enough to create wonderful movement in the water! Very nice pic!
Well done!

Hi Karsten,
I had already seen this stunner in your site. The framing, metering and exposure are just perfect to convey a sense of hidden beauty and harmony between the sharp carving of the stones and the velvety stream. The lighting is superb!! Was is too hard to carry the tripod and the rest of the equip. around? I was thinking about going there sometime specially for photography.
Regards,
Victor
